AgentMicro is a local-first macOS menu-bar companion for supervising parallel Codex Desktop and CLI tasks. It surfaces task state, project, elapsed time, and results at a glance, then opens the matching Codex Desktop task with one click. It observes local metadata only and never uploads prompts, responses, source code, or task history.
Hi Product Hunt! I built AgentMicro because I kept losing the thread when I had several Codex tasks running in parallel. The questions were simple: Which task is still working? Which one finished while I was elsewhere? Which one needs my input?
Codex already owns the work, so I did not want another dashboard, hosted task system, or automation layer. AgentMicro is a small, local-first macOS menu-bar companion that observes local Codex Desktop and CLI session metadata, puts active work first, and lets you return to the matching Desktop task with one click.
The menu uses five deliberate states: blue for thinking, green for an unread result, orange for input needed, red for an error, and white for idle. It also shows the project, current-turn duration, and fast-mode badge. Base mode needs no Accessibility permission; optional enhanced detection is opt-in and never clicks, types, or approves anything for you.
AgentMicro is free, open source, and independent. It does not upload prompts, responses, source code, command output, or task history. I would love to hear which signals help you supervise concurrent agent work without adding noise. Thanks for taking a look!
